Forty — Selah Sound Collective (Matthew 4)

Intro Led by the Spirit… into the silence…

Verse 1 Ash and bone beneath my feet The sun a blade on my shoulder Hunger stitching hymns in my ribs Each breath like a sermon smoldered

Verse 2 The stones cry, “Turn us into bread” But I hear thunder in the stillness Not every craving is a need Not every silence is wilderness

Chorus Not by bread alone, Do we walk these deserts unknown But by every word, Spoken through stars and storms By the mouth of God By the mouth of God We are not alone

Verse 3 He showed me all the kingdoms lit, Glittering gold on fragile glass “Bow and I’ll make you king of it” But I am fire that will not pass

Verse 4 I’ve seen rivers carved from tears Mountains move on whispered truths No throne built on the bones of fear Will hold what love can’t prove

Chorus Not by bread alone, Do we crown what we call home But by every word, Burning in the voice unknown By the mouth of God By the mouth of God We are not alone

Bridge Even angels walked away Till truth stood taller than the pain I faced the dusk with empty hands And still the light remained

Final Chorus Not by bread alone, But by something deeper sown By every word, That names the soul as known By the mouth of God By the mouth of God I walk the wind and stone

Outro Led by the Spirit… I became the flame.
